The only reality you can control is the one you’re willing to face.
Being threatened seems to being out the worst in me.
He’d surely been spawned by some cataclysmic event of nature, not born.
He just didn’t look like the kind of creep that would messily murder a woman in her hotel room; he looked like the kind of creep that could line her up in the sights of an assassins rifle without a shred of emotion.
If you are not with me, you are against me. I have no mercy for my enemies.
It was a land of shadows and ice. Of gray. And grayer. And black. -The Unseelie prison of Aedan.
